01
Research focus
Define the observation unit and denominator. Repeated records, repeated interpretations and multiple outcomes are not automatically independent.
02
Procedure and example
Choose a defensible baseline before examining results, such as a fixed rule or judgment with equal information. Small samples support exercises, not stable probability promises.
03
Output and review
Deliver counts, missingness, baseline and uncertainty. Formal inference should be designed and reviewed by appropriately trained researchers.
